Services
Use Services for billable work that isn’t a stock item, such as a polish change or a massage. The POS charges a service by the time it takes, not by a fixed amount.
How a service is charged
Section titled “How a service is charged”- The Price you enter is the price for every 60 minutes.
- The POS counts time by the minute. A 30-minute service costs half the Price.
- If you set up a Setting price for certain hours, minutes that fall inside those hours are charged at the setting price. All other minutes use the normal Price. See Sales time and sales price.
- Services aren’t sent to the kitchen printer.
